Finally got around to doing this!

I also used "Goof Off 2" in a spray bottle. First I sprayed a little bit on, then wiped with a cloth to get it evenly covering the warning label on each visor. I did that 3 or 4 times and just let it sit for a few minutes.

I then started rubbing off the labels in a circular direction using one of those green sponge/scouring pads. I kept spraying a bit of Goof Off 2 every so often. Eventually, the labels start to break apart and rub off.

There was still a rectangular outline of the label afterwards. I scrubbed more Goof Off 2 to see if I could totally remove it, but it just wouldn't come off. So if you look in the right light, you can still see a faint outline of where these labels once were. I don't know if I didn't do it right or if it's just because my car's a little older (2005).

Either way, it looks way better without the labels, and there really is only a faint outline. No fade in the colour at all. I just wiped on some Vinylex afterwards to shine them up & protect them.

Thanks, intgr8r for the original idea & post.
